Ok, you've convinced me that expanding lambda into unnamed code-blocks is 
unnecessary, and confirmed Tim's point that naming the code blocks can be 
better than lambdas for readability.

Although in that particular example, I'm not convinced that having any kind 
of nested function is better than just expanding the expressions they 
represent in-line, with appropriate comments...
